D&H 36' Box Cars
anthony wagner
Hey guys, or girls, anyone have photos of D&H 36' box cars? Post war is preferred but any showing the various end upgrades will do nicely. Looking to do a mild upgrade of a pair of Accurail cars and while I have a couple of photos more would help. I'm modeling 1949 and the D&H still had a couple thousand of these cars in service then. Thanks Tony Wagner

I think I showed these once before, but maybe on the Resin list. I spent quite a few hours crawling on and under the 12k and 13k series when in MOW service as part of a project to build the 12k series. These models are cast resin from my masters, representing the 82k series and later. I have yet to do the 12k in-service version, but maybe now is a good time to start.

Go back and read my last post - NYC (links and photo provided previously) and DL&W. Also IC. Do something about that side sill and those too-shallow hoppers. Frankly, you're better off using the Ulrich offset triple, which is actually an excellent model of a B&LE 90-ton car. [It differs from the other cars by having more side posts (visible in the offset).] Ben Hom

Bob, How about Albin Burrows article "36-Foot Harriman Standard Stock Cars" from MODEL RAILROADING for January 1989? There were also several similar articles in MODEL RAILROADING and RAILMODEL JOURNAL on Fowler and Mather stock cars. If interested, I can possibly supply the sources. TRAIN SHED CYCLOPEDIA 36 had stock cars from the 1919 CBC. Yours Aye, Garth Groff

Re: Decals for scale locations and light weights just need the B&O
Garth Groff and Sally Sanford
Charlie, The following list was compiled when we had this discussion a number of years ago on the old group, which IIRC was orchestrated by Richard Hendrickson. You will need to consult B&O fans for the top picks. Why I recorded this list is beyond me at this point, but it is scribbled into my ORER. I think I was most interested in those roads that connected with the WP. I see that I have a few more odd roads. It might take some time tomorrow, but I can supply them all if you wish. BA--Brooke Ave Yd, Rochester NY BW-Brunswich, MD CE-Chillicothe, OH CU-Cumberland, MD DU-Dubois, PA ES-East Salamanca, NY GA-Garrett, IN GW-Glenwood Yard, Pittsburgh IV-Ivorydale, OH KY-Keyser, WV LF-LaFayette Car Works LN-BR&P Shops, Lincoln Park, NY LP-Locust Point, MD MC-Mount Clare, MD MD-Moofield, Yard, Indianapolis NE-Newark, OH PV-Painesville, OH WA-Washington, OH WI-Willard, OH HAG-Hagerstown, MD BY-Barr Yard, Chicago CHI-Chicago CV-Connesville, MD GRF-Grafton, (OH?) Are the old messages archived somewhere? This was quite a long thread. I just noticed that I have two for the GN: STC-St. Cloud, MN SUP-Superior, (MN?) Yours Aye, Garth Groff 🦆

Re: Suggestions? - Livestock Cars & Operations Books
Steve SANDIFER
I have all five. The Ellington book was great for 20+ years. I think you will find everything in it is in my book. Hundman’s book has lots of photos and drawings from a variety of railroads. I think mine is the only one with an operations emphasis.
The Burlington Bulletin #25 is 135 pages dedicated to stock cars and livestock traffic on the CB&Q, FW&D, and C&S. It is excellent, a must have for Burlington modelers.

Re: Car ID just for fun
I don’t think that there are kits for the C&O cars. They were rebuilds of double sheathed cars from the mid 1920’s that were done in 1941 and 42 to add steel sides and door and a half.
From Carl Shaver’s books:
C&O 12000-12168 were done in 1941 from C&O series 82000-82999 which had been built in 1924-25 by Illinois Car & Mfg Co C&O 13558-13828 were done in 1942 from C&O series 83000-83999 which had been built in 1924 by Pullman (as Hocking Valley 34000-34999.)
There is a Howard Ameling photo of 12020 in the second volume of Shaver’s book.

Re: partial view of a HERCULES POWDER tank car
This decal set is for a type III/103 8K gallon general purpose tank car. The three prototype shots show two insulated and pressurized cars in the 10-11K range and one "chemical" tank car with a specialized bonnet. That's an interesting variety of cars. Any idea what they used them to haul?

Also be aware that in Pensacola that Frisco interchanged cars with the L&N for the Port of Pensacola. Could be cars headed for the docks.
